1930

I love the tone and playability of a short scale instrument, 30 inches to be exact. But until now the market has not offered a true high end example of a 30-inch design. Another issue with most short scale basses on the market is that the bodies are just too small, they do not balance well.

Using a better proportionate body, perfect frets, “Thin skin” poly body finish, hand oil neck finish, and Novak Bisonic pickups the 1930 I & II is the answer to this void in the market.
